Lyrics

Well I heard you got a new love
She?s the kind you always dreamed of
So sweet just like a dove
Sittin? in your hand
And I bet she doesn?t argue
Wouldn?t have her own point of view
She prob?ly leaves it all up to you
I think I understand

So I made a new arrangement
In the hollow where my broken heart went
I decided my pain is spent
I?m movin? on
I had a consultation
My heart and I had a conversation
I can say without hesitation
Baby, I?m gone

I never meant to treat you mean
You?ve been callin? me the Ice Queen
You say I throw one hell of a scene
Well you showed me how
And it wasn?t always like this
You used to say I had a perfect kiss
Just to think about it brought you bliss
That?s over now

So I made a new arrangement
In the hollow where my broken heart went
I decided my pain is spent
I?m movin? on
I had a consultation
My heart and I had a conversation
I can say without hesitation
Baby, I?m gone

I guess we had a pretty good run
We had some giggles honey had some fun
We had our day in the sun
Now the sun?s gone down
So I?m packin? up my suitcase
Here?s the key you can keep this place
I?m feelin? like I need some space
See you around

Don?t wait up for me
I?m not coming home

?Cause I made a new arrangement
In the hollow where my broken heart went
I decided my pain is spent
I?m movin? on
I had a consultation
My heart and I had a conversation
I can say without hesitation
Baby, I?m gone
I can say without hesitation
Hey baby I?m gone
